In what is an increasingly guilty-until-proven-innocent society, the latest problems will not stem the tide of negative public opinion toward the organization, which has been reeling for more than two weeks since Sports Illustrated’s report of alleged sexual misconduct in the front office.

Cuban was back in the spotlight when a report from Portland was revealed late Tuesday. It quoted a police complaint that did not result in any charges being filed about him allegedly touching a woman inappropriately in 2011.

Cuban strongly denied the allegation, and no charges ever were filed against him.

However, that doesn’t mean the Mavericks aren’t concerned that - or prepared for - more allegations to be forthcoming.

Meanwhile, the front-office problems continued to grow when they suspended Caneda, general manager of Mavs Gaming, after a racist tweet he allegedly wrote in 2016 was uncovered, the source said.

There were unconfirmed reports of more controversial comments on Twitter in 2017, although the source said it was uncertain whether Caneda’s account had been hacked at that point.

Research into that claim was ongoing as of Wednesday evening. The Mavericks had not released any official statement about the incident.

Caneda did not work for the Mavericks in 2016, but the source said there was enough evidence in the current environment to merit an investigation and suspension.

The gaming arm of the Mavericks is an NBA-sanctioned video-game initiative geared at luring new online fans to the NBA market. The league believes it can attract a new generation of fans.

This continues a pattern of behavior that has brought the Mavericks’ front office under fire.

There are other things that have not been revisited yet, such as Cuban’s 2001 interview with Penthouse magazine in which he talked about the best pickup lines he’s heard, strangest request ever asked of him during sex and wildest sexual experience.

The investigation involving Terdema Ussery and the allegations brought forth by women in the Sports Illustrated article are still being looked into, and that the matter could drag into early summer.
